Jay Gould

American railroad developer and speculator

1836 CE to 1892 CE

Jason "Jay" Gould (May 27, 1836 – December 2, 1892) is a leading American railroad developer and speculator.

He has long been vilified as an archetypal robber baron, whose successes make him the ninth richest American in history.

Condé Nast Portfolio ranks Gould as the 8th worst American CEO of all time.

Some modern historians working from primary sources have discounted various myths about him.
